Wrestling fans eagerly waiting for Bill Goldberg – who will soon join the likes of Sting, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Ultimate Warrior as WWE Hall of Famers – in WWE 2K17 need not be disappointed. World Champion and WCW Legend Bill Goldberg is indeed featured in the game. Goldberg, talking about his inclusion in the game roster, said it was an honor for him to be included in the roster. If you want to get Goldberg wrestling immediately, there is a catch – you can only get Goldberg through a pre-order bonus. This bonus may soon become paid DLC. But as of now, pre-order bonus is the only way to get Goldberg.
Goldberg will make his appearance in the game in two versions – one that relates to his WWE tenure and the other that relates to his time in WCW. You can play both versions of Goldberg in the game. Besides Goldberg, the pre-order bonus also includes these characters –
- Appollo Crews
- Shinsuke Nakamura
- Nia Jax
